It was just after noon, and the Yong'an Palace was also very busy at this time. Queen Mother Tian Yuchan prepared a sumptuous lunch to entertain her son, daughter-in-law, and in-laws, the general.
As soon as he came from the Chengqian Palace, Tang Yulan began to vent his dissatisfaction to Tang Yao: "Father is really confused. How can he compromise with his ancestors today, belittle his brother and the princess's sister-in-law, and let Ji Rongheng go to Langzhou."
"Madam, don't talk nonsense, my father-in-law has his own profound meaning."
Qinghe King Lin Jinke was still recalling the beautiful appearance of the Chengqian Palace in his mind. Hearing the princess's words, he immediately came back to his senses and gave a solemn advice.
Tian Yuchan ate the food in front of her leisurely and said with a smile: "Qian'er has been spoiled in the palace since she was a child. It is not a bad thing to go to Luyan Port and suffer hardships. Even if it hurts the consort, the Ai family feels
I feel very sorry."
"Husbands and wives should share weal and woe. The Queen Mother's words are serious."
Tang Yao replied politely: "It's just that the candidate for the governor of Langzhou has been delayed for a long time. Although it is a bad idea to let Ji Rongheng take over Langzhou, it is better than letting the regent and the ancestors decide on the candidate."
"Not bad."
Tian Yuchan raised her eyes with a sinister smile: "Ji Rongheng is not difficult to deal with. As long as Ke'er successfully enters Jinling City, he will be recalled by an imperial edict."
As soon as she finished speaking, a chamberlain hurriedly walked in and loudly reported: "Back to the Queen Mother, your Majesty has not taken the elixir refined by Taoist Master Chunhua of Huanglongguan today. I dare not persuade you anymore, especially
Come and report to the Queen Mother."
"Not taken?"
Tian Yuchan looked at the servant in surprise, and then smiled calmly: "Our Majesty, if we don't rely on the immortal prescription now, there is no chance of recovery of the dragon body. Don't worry, your Majesty will take it sooner or later."
"But our ancestors and Your Majesty have accepted Princess Pingning's advice and no longer take the elixir, and are preparing to re-engage the quack doctors from the Imperial Hospital."
The waiter carefully looked at everyone and answered cautiously.
"Princess Pingning?"
Tian Yuchan took a breath again in astonishment: "This woman really has some skills. King Nandu and Concubine Yue went to Luyan Port, but they didn't get any benefit at all. Even my daughter was inspired by her to do it.
I'm afraid it's not a good thing if you lose the business of merchants."
"Mother, this woman is very good at stirring up trouble. Keeping her with King Pingning will sooner or later threaten His Highness. Since she has entered the capital this time, she must not be allowed to return to Luyan Port."
Thinking of Lin Jinke's loving eyes towards the woman just now, Tang Yulan felt angry and murderous intent appeared in his eyes.
"Prince Pingning and his wife really need to take precautions."
Tang Yao quite agreed with his daughter's words, and said anxiously: "Today Princess Pingning dared to mention in court that Princess Shu returned to the land of Qinghe to command the army, and the old minister noticed that the regent
It seems that he also intends to win over the couple, so why not take advantage of Princess Pingning's visit to Beijing and detain her in Beijing, while the mother and son remain in the capital, so that King Pingning will not dare to act rashly."
"Now that she's here, naturally we can't let her go back easily."
Tian Yuchan smiled sinisterly and said: "The Ai family will arrange this matter. Doesn't she want to be an official? After all, our Dahe Empire does not have female officials. In a few days, let the Tingwei Mansion arrange an errand for her."
"
After saying that, she looked at Lin Jinke again and solemnly ordered: "Ke'er, these days you have to ask the people you brought to keep a close watch on the suburbs of Beijing. Your relatives must also warn the three camps and don't be careless.
The Ai family expects that His Majesty’s death will not be long, so we all need to make countermeasures."
"The Queen Mother does not need to worry about this."
Tang Yao took a long breath, stroked his beard and said in a deep voice: "I'm just worried that something will happen to the land of Qinghe at this juncture. Since His Highness has entered the capital, he can't go back lightly. If our ancestors and Your Majesty let Princess Shu go to Qinghe at this time,
The three states taking charge of the army must be a great worry for us."
"Princess Shu must not be allowed to regain control of the Qinghe Army."
The Queen Mother said solemnly: "My family must not be careless about this matter."
"Lao Chen will do his best to stabilize the situation."
Tang Yao thought hard in his heart, if it was really necessary, he would have to go there himself.
Fortunately, the Queen Mother is in charge of the overall situation in Beijing. Even if she goes there in person, as long as she controls Princess Pingning, there will be no trouble.
Tian Yuchan nodded happily, and suddenly looked at Tang Yao closely, her voice gradually became lower and lower: "The Ai family asked the in-laws to send people to thoroughly investigate the matter of the late prince's death."
"Posthumous child?"
Lin Jinke and Tang Yulan both looked surprised when they heard this, and said in unison: "Didn't that child die a long time ago in the palace incident?"
"indeed so."
Tang Yao thought thoughtfully and replied: "The old minister sent people to inquire around, but did not find any information. There is no doubt about King Pingning's life experience. I am afraid that the rumors in the market are just groundless rumors. The old minister thought that it was the Baiyu people who wanted to incite
I deliberately caused civil strife."
"So it seems that Aijia is worrying too much."
Tian Yuchan smiled slowly: "Even so, we still can't be careless. Your Majesty has no heirs, and the candidate for the new king has not yet been decided. The ancestors and your Majesty praised Napoluhu in this way, and they must have some deeper meanings. They sent more people to watch over Chu.
That girl at home."
After a pause, she quickly added: "And the children under her knees."
"yes."
Tang Yao said with a confident smile: "Since the mother and son came to Beijing, the veteran has made arrangements in advance. From Jingling City to Langzhou, there are veteran's confidants guarding the pass. Even if the mother and son are given wings, it will be difficult for them to return.
Back to Luyan Port."
"Very good."
Tian Yuchan let out a sigh of relief: "You all say how powerful that woman is, but the Ai family wants to go and see it in person. Yu Lan will stay in the palace today, and will accompany the Ai family to Zhaochun Palace later.
, speaking of which, the Ai family has not gone to pay respects to our ancestors for some time."
"My daughter-in-law will obey her mother's wishes."
Tang Yulan smiled proudly.
In Zhaochun Palace, Chu Nanzhi has been escorted back by the palace officials.
Seeing their mother's figure, the quadruplets came over happily and called out with smiles: "Mom, we asked Eunuch Hai to leave a lot of snacks for you. They are delicious. Please try them quickly."
Taste it."
When they arrived at the palace, the group of little ones were no different from what they were at Luyan Port. Sibaolin Ruijia also secretly hid a few pieces of beef jerky and handed them to Chu Nanzhi, whispering:
"Mom, my father-in-law Hai told me that this beef jerky is a specialty only in the north. I was worried that my great-grandmother didn't leave it to my mother, so I took some specially. Mom, please eat it quickly."
Seeing the pieces of brightly colored beef jerky that the little one secretly stuffed in, Chu Nanzhi couldn't help but laugh or cry.
Yin Enci next to her heard the whispers of the little treasures, and sighed helplessly: "You little ones, how could you think so little of your great-grandmother? Your mother is also a distinguished guest of the Ai family, how could the Ai family neglect her?
Woolen cloth."
After finishing speaking, I couldn't help but take a look at the little four treasures. I saw that the little girl who was born at the same time was much thinner and shorter than the others. I felt distressed and sad and quickly advised: "Eat quickly. In my great-grandmother's courtyard,
You can eat whatever you want, no need to think about your mother."
